Chapter 38 His Selfishness

• “Fuck Reina!” Xavier cursed, remembering that in his fit of rage, he had abandoned her—he left her in the living room to deal with the aftermath of their fallout. He got angry when Reina asked Alexandre to call her by her name instead of mom. The sight of tears welling in his son's eyes, a first that cut deep into Xavier's conscience, ignited something within him that he had long buried.
• He forgot it wasn't Reina’s fault she doesn't remember then, but due to his selfishness. He caused all this mess; it was his fault. He didn't take Reina's feelings into consideration, but himself, how to make her his, how he forced an innocent girl into the role of a wife against her will. She had no choice but to accept him, together with his flaws. And he's doing it again, forcing her to accept him again, not taking into consideration her true feelings.
• With a heavy heart and an overwhelming sense of regret, he stood up, taking Alexandre’s small hand in his as they walked out together, the weight of his past decisions pressing down on him like a storm cloud threatening to burst.
